Xbox Partner Preview November 2025: Every big game announcement

Earlier this week, Microsoft hosted the Xbox Partner Preview event, showcasing upcoming game previews from third-party developers. It included a few ‘world premiere’ reveals and several updates on already announced games. Probably, the highlight of the event was the announcement of Raji: Kaliyuga, the sequel to Raji: An Ancient Epic, from Indian studio Nodding Heads Games. Further, the half-hour presentation delivered new trailers, filled with new game announcements and updates for 16 Xbox projects.

Xbox Partner Preview: Key highlights, announcements

Nodding Heads Games is returning with a sequel to Raji: An Ancient Epic, with the Raji: Kaliyuga game. It is set six years after the events of the first title, and here Raji will return as a more seasoned fighter, now joined by her brother Darsh, who will be the second playable character. During the entire gameplay, players will switch between these characters, and it is designed to broaden gameplay variety and expand the story arcs introduced in the first game.

The game is also making a jump to third-person, unlike the isometric approach of its prequel. There's no release date yet, but Raji: Kaliyuga will launch on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), Xbox Series S/X, PS5, and Switch 2. It will be available day one on Game Pass. Further, IO Interactive's James Bond action-adventure title, 007 First Light, is now confirmed to include an Aston Martin. A new trailer showed a first look at the Aston Martin Valhalla with a few ‘special' modifications.
